Abstract

The concept of a well-lived life among individuals in early adulthood mainly focus on how they navigate life transitions and achieve personal success. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, semi-structured interview was used with twelve Filipino young adults aged 25 to 35 years old. Thematic analysis revealed four major themes: Empowered Purpose, highlighting resilience and coping strategies; Building Bonds, emphasizing the importance of relationships and support; Art of Balance, addressing work-life harmony; and Behind the Persona, which explores the challenges and uncertainties faced by young adults. Findings suggest that a well-lived life is intricately tied to personal values, social connections, and the ability to adapt to life's complexities. The study contributes to understanding how young adults perceive fulfillment and success amid contemporary societal pressures, offering insights for practices in education, mental health, and social policy. The LIFE self-help plan is devised to help young adults engage in mindfulness and self-compassion practices in realizing a healthy concept of a well-lived life.

Abstract

Social loafing is the tendency of individuals to reduce their contribution when they are in a group. This phenomenon reflects maladaptive personal characteristics, which ideally should not be exhibited by Guidance and Counseling students at a university in Malang City. This study aims to explore views, actions, and causal factors of social loafing from the perspective of personality development based on Gestalt counseling theory. The research method used a qualitative phenomenological approach and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results of the study show that social loafing is a reflection of maladaptive personality in Gestalt counseling theory. This is indicated by views related to an incomplete awareness of roles when working in a group. In addition, there is also evidence of behavior that is less motivated and responsible as part of a group. The causes of the social loafing phenomenon identified are a rigid self-image and failure to maintain values due to environmental influences. This research contributes to guidance and counseling, particularly in higher education, with considerations for implementing both preventive and corrective services related to social loafing. Furthermore, it can also serve as a reference for the education sector to provide a group work environment that reduces social loafing among members.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate the instrument flourishing adolescence scale (I-FAS) as a comprehensive tool to measure adolescent flourishing, particularly for use in guidance and counseling contexts. The instrument was developed based on five key dimensions: psychological, social, subjective, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The development process included theoretical framework analysis, item construction, expert validation , and a pilot test to assess clarity and readability. Revisions were made before large-scale testing. A quantitative approach was used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument through the Rasch Model. Data were collected via an online survey from 400 junior and senior high school students in Yogyakarta. The results showed that the I-FAS met the unidimensionality criteria, with a raw variance explained of 31.4%, exceeding the 20% threshold. The instrument also demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.92), high person reliability (0.90), and item reliability (0.99). The item difficulty range was acceptable, with the most difficult item having a measure of +1.89 and the easiest –1.76. Five items were identified as misfitting and considered for revision. These findings support that the I-FAS is a valid, reliable, and culturally relevant instrument for measuring adolescent flourishing. The inclusion of spiritual well-being provides added value in cultural contexts where spirituality plays a key role. The I-FAS can assist counselors and educators in identifying student needs and designing targeted interventions to support their well-being and development
